	John Gielgud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sir Arthur John Gielgud OM, CH (14 April 1904 – 21 May 2000), known as Sir John Gielgud, was an English theatre and film actor, regarded by many as one of the greatest British actors in history.
		Arthur John Gielgud was born in Kensington in London to a Protestant mother, Kate Terry, and a Catholic father, Frank Gielgud (who was of Polish or Lithuanian descent), and was raised a Protestant.
		Gielgud was also one of the few people who has won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony Award.

		John Gielgud, who died last week at the age of 96, was the last of that great generation of British theatrical knights who still bore the mark of the Empire -- the look of men born to rule the world.
		Gielgud, who was still performing at 94 (in the film Elizabeth), wasn't as handsome as Redgrave or Olivier, but he was the most aristocratic-looking of the four: high forehead and cheekbones, sculpted nose, pointed chin, and a forceful jaw from which skin hung down like seaweed off the prow of a weather-pummeled but resolute ship.
		Gielgud made more than 80 movies, though he played principal roles in only a handful: Julius Caesar, Chimes at Midnight, Arthur, Alain Resnais's Providence, a 1992 short Branagh made called "Swan Song" in which he was a narcissistic thespian whose age drips off his face like candle wax.

		Thus, the Gielgud bust could be seen as the start of a gradual thaw in attitudes that led to the 1967 overturn of laws criminalizing homosexuality during Harold Wilson 's second ministry.
		Gielgud's 1955 go at Shakespeare's "King Lear" was a failure, and his style of acting went out of fashion after the kitchen-sink theatrical revolution heralded by the Royal Court's May 1956 staging of John Osborne 's "Look Back in Anger".
		Gielgud could be seen as having made the career of his greatest acolyte, Laurence Olivier, his only rival for the title of Greatest Shakespearean Actor of the 20th Century, a contest most felt that Gielgud won due to the beauty of his phrasing and more cerebral interpretation of Shakespeare.

		It was on stage that Gielgud felt most at home and, of the quartet of masterful performers, he was likely the finest actor among them.
		The Oscar, clearly given in the spirit of a lifetime achievement award, would have been more deserved for his grand turns on the small screen for Sir John (he was knighted in the 1950's) did some of his finest work away from the stage, on television and not in the movies.

		John Gielgud's life covered the whole of the 20th century; for all of his adult life he was a significant figure in the British theatre, either as an active force or as an influence, emblematic and inspirational.
		Gielgud's letters have just been published, lovingly collected and sparingly (perhaps a little too sparingly) annotated by Richard Mangan, and to read them through is get the full measure of the man. From the earliest age, Gielgud had an instinctive elegance, buoyancy and sense of shape in his own use of language.
		It is salutary to be so vividly reminded of the force of passion, the mental energy, the lyrical complexity of what Gielgud achieved at his height.
